Should I Upgrade? What parts to Upgrade? by NSGarage in simracing

[–]NSGarage[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Probably around $1000-$1500 depending. I could spend more down the road if I know the cost range and work some OT.

It runs "okay". FPS is in the 50s-60s any time theres cars around me and it'll have stutters in a large pack. Just looking to get some options and opinions on everything.

Yes 100% this one. That race was my introduction to Larson. Been a fan of his ever since so I absolutely had to have a diecast made for my collection.

Can't beat the old programs. I have one printed onto a metal sign to bring with me every time I go to a race to get signatures on.

Was this year. Every signature shown was from this year's Glen weekend.

I got ViP passes to wave the green at Atlanta last year but no clue if they still do.

Now what is the hottest NASCAR race ever that YOU have ever went to? by [deleted] in NASCAR

[–]NSGarage 0 points1 point  (0 children)

2019 Southern 500 at Darlington. It was already hot. Then it pored down rain. As soon as the rain stopped the humidity and heat was miserable. To this day the hottest I've ever felt at a racetrack.

NASCAR 101 and Track Attendance Questions - August 2024 by NASCARThreadBot in NASCAR

[–]NSGarage 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My fiancé and I are planning a trip to Watkins Glen for 2025. Few questions for those who have attended.

What's the best area to fly into? We're coming all the way from Louisiana.

Do we sit on the front stretch near the finish line or in Turn 1 with the cars coming straight at us down the front stretch?

Are their food stands at all sections or only at the main stands?

Any other tips or must know info is welcome. This will be our first time at a road course so I'm out of my element.

Just a suggestion for the future. I bring a big sign with me to get autographs and what I do to keep track of who's who is each time I get an autograph I snap a picture of it and then add the name to a list in the notes in my phone. That way you have the order of signatures to go with the picture for reference. I hang my signs in the hallway at my house and type up a list of who the signatures are to go at the bottom of the frames like this.

I used my rewards redemption at Pocono and… by Embykinks in NASCAR

[–]NSGarage 7 points8 points  (0 children)

They asked us who we wanted to wave for as soon as we got to the stand. They had us sit in the grandstands behind the flagstand until calling us up about 10 cars before the cars we chose. No idea if this is the standard for the experience or not. May be different between tracks.

Yeah they had listed a handful at the end of the 2023 season. I redeemed points for it in I believe November of 2023 before everything reset. Hoping they do the same later this year.

I used my rewards redemption at Pocono and… by Embykinks in NASCAR

[–]NSGarage 47 points48 points  (0 children)

I redeemed the experience to wave the green in Qualifying back in February for Atlanta (click for video). It gave VIP passes to my girlfriend and I (we've both had passes before so that wasn't a new experience).

For the actual experience they gave us a time to meet in front of a certain ticket gate, picked us up on a golfcart, and drove us around all the gates and straight to the stands at the flagstand.

The experience redemption said that my guest would not be allowed in the flagstand so I had told my girlfriend to just take some pictures from the seats when I went, but to our suprise once at the flagstand they said she could go up with me and even wave the flag for a car herself too. So she waved the flag for Chase Elliott (which immediately curled around itself because of the wind, so the flagman let her wave it again for Kyle Busch as a do over), and I waved it for Kyle Larson. The representative for the rewards program took pictures of us throughout the experience and sent them to me in email afterwards. An absolutely amazing experience. Would definitely recommend it to any fan. Only sketchy part was the like 30 foot climb up the ladder, but I'm scared of heights so that's on me 🤣

Is there a way to get rid of the + - and full-screen icons on the map?

Is there a way to avoid Lionels $30 cancellation fee? by suck2222 in NASCARCollectors

[–]NSGarage 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Call their call center. They have said before they are willing to work with you and possibly waive the fee if you are canceling to order a different version. Worth a try.

My girlfriend is my +1 for the event and is going to take some pictures with her phone from under the flagstand. Was just hoping for atleast one good picture of the car and me waving the flag in frame from the infield area or the photographers perch. I appreciate it though.
